The Mystery of the heated seat issue has been solved

[wade]

My driver one is now shutting off, and I noticed, when I bounce in the seat, it shuts off. Shorted wire?

It might be but might also be something shorting out in the heat pad! Probably the best thing to do would be to take apart the seat and see the condition of the heat pads!! That's what I'm gonna do next week, I wanna solve my problem with the drivers seat!

What year tahoe did you solve the issue?
You may have solved your issue but many of us have not. Different years have different set ups. I have heated seats in mine but the element is within the cover that you remove.. My wires go to the cover , not the cushion. You have NOT solved the issue that we ALL are having. Period! Where does a person by a replacement heating element for a PRE-2000 TAHOE!

I guess you get what you pay for on a free forum Joe.

Maybe look in the pre-2000 forum section...

<<<< I'm the retard here, this thread is a few years old. I just found it looking at heated pad replacements.

I had my leather replaced seat bottom replaced and the element changed too to remedy this problem on my truck. The shop showed me the old one and it looked pretty burnt, but the problem still persisted on the driver side...think it could be the seat back?
